                During the process of digestion, the proteins present in food materials are hydrolysed to amino acids. The two enzymes involved in the process                  Proteins    \[\xrightarrow{Enzyme\,\,(A)}\]Polypeptides                 \[\xrightarrow{Enzyme\,(B)}\,\text{Amino}\,\text{acids},\]                 are respectively:                                                                                                                                             

A)                  amylase and maltase                    

B)                  diastase and lipase

C)                  pepsin and trypsin                                         

D)                  invertase and zymase
